Growth Marketing Lead turning search, SEO/GEO, and CRO into measurable pipeline revenue.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hands-on Growth Marketing Lead with over a decade of experience building search programs and full-funnel CRO strategies across highly competitive, regulated international markets. I’m a technical operator who connects top-of-funnel acquisition to back-end pipeline revenue using advanced analytics and AI-assisted workflows.
I’ve scaled multi-market campaigns across the US, UK, EU, and Asia in tech, fintech, iGaming, and energy—managing paid acquisition and optimizing for min. CPA from CRM and attribution data. From lifting conversion rates 2–3x through experimentation and full-funnel CRO to scaling organic traffic 8x to 400K+ monthly visits, I build operating models, automation pipelines, and SEO/GEO foundations that teams can execute and grow.
